Mind Meld - Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner

These two Star Trek actors met again in 2001 to discuss their lives and Trek. Leonard describes his alcohol abuse and the issues behind it. Bill talks about a personal tragedy of his own and the two of them discuss friction with the other Star Trek cast. Very informative and touching. Link in comments. The VIDEO is now also available. It's link is also in the comments.

The Howard Stern show said there is a tacky Easter Egg in this. It's there at 52:59 in your audio.

You are right. Using the freeware Audacity sound editor I found it at 52 minutes and 53.3 seconds, between the words "minute" and "like". And it sure is tacky! Thanks.

This makes a perfect companion piece to 25 Year Mission. Mind Meld is a affecting and poignant as 25 Year Mission is funny and celebratory. Thanks.

I feel the same way. The Mind Meld video isn't quite out of print yet. When it is I will rip it and give it away.

It amazes me that this recorded conversation took place in 1976. That was 45 years ago! And I'm listening to them talk almost like they were a couple of old retired guys looking back on their career, family, wealth and success and also pondering their futures... And of course, in 2021, we all know now the massive successes they've enjoyed since that interview.It really is pretty astounding. They've both had pretty amazing careers and lives....
